Hidden front buttons in the top can be opened to the waist for a different look. Drawstring waist, top and skirt are lined, full circle gives a line silhouette but wows when you spin, ruffle trim on the tiered skirt. The sizing is larger than you think. I’m quite large busted and a size 8 to 10. So even though it says M it’s more of a larger size. I have this dress in 4 colors that’s how much I love the style. It’s very flattering whilst hiding many a flaw. It’s also very cool in the summer.
